Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
Ikatan Da'i Indonesia (IKADI) : kajian dari aspek program dakwah di Jakarta / Muhammad Choirin
Full text linkPelaksanaan program dakwah yang baik akan memberikan kesan kepada sasaran dakwah ke arah pembinaan peribadi muslim yang dicita-citakan. Salah satu cara dakwah yang efektif adalah dakwah melalui organisasi atau pertubuhan Islam. Hal ini kerana dakwah melalui pertubuhan boleh memberikan tumpuan kepada pelaksanaan program dakwah yang padu, tersusun rapi dan menyeluruh. Disertasi yang bertajuk Ikatan Da’i Indonesia (IKADI): Kajian Dari Aspek Program Dakwah Di Jakarta ini mempunyai objektif untuk untuk menelusuri sejarah perkembangan dakwah IKADI; dan untuk memahami bentuk-bentuk program dakwah yang dilaksanakan IKADI; serta untuk mengetahui masalah-masalah yang dihadapai IKADI dalam melaksanakan program dakwah. Kajian ini dilaksakan di Jakarta yang merupakan tempat berdirinya IKADI dan ibu pejabat Dewan Pengurus Pusat. Metodologi yang digunakan dalam kajian ini ialah kepustakaan dan lapangan yang mengandungi pemerhatian, dokumentasi dan temu bual. Kajian ini mendapati bahawa perkembangan dakwah IKADI hingga saat ini melalui tiga tahapan yang tiap-tiap tahapan mempunyai ciri khas tersendiri. Program-program dakwah IKADI yang mengandungi berbagai macam jenis ialah meliputi dakwah yang bersifat al-Tabligh, al-Himayah dan al-Irshad. Meskipun terdapat kelemahan dalam pelaksanaan program dakwah, menurut pandangan pengurus IKADI fungsi pengurusan moden telah dilaksanakan dengan baik oleh IKADI. Menurut pandangan pengurus IKADI, masalah utama pelaksanaan program dakwah ialah kurangnya modal insan, perbezaan pandangan dalam bidang mazhab, kurangnya sokongan dari pemerintah, tidak adanya ulang kaji yang baik dan masalah kewangan yang terhad dan lain-lain
An Analysis of The Divine Principles of K.H. Abdullah Syafi’ie (1910-1985 M)
No full textK.H. Abdullah Syafi’ie is widely known as an Islamic scholar and preacher in the Indonesian Muslim community, particularly among Betawi natives. His significant contribution to spreading Islam, notably in education, is depicted through as-Syafi’iyah Islamic Education. Furthermore, his role in Islam in the Indonesian archipelago is evidenced by writing more than twenty-one titles of books in the field of Islamic faith and Usuluddin, which has been marking his name in the Islamic discourse. This paper aims at exploring the persona of K.H. Abdullah Syafi'ie as a Muslim theologian, particularly in the issues related to the science of kalam. In doing so, this study employs historical approaches combined with interviews and observation. This study finds that the thought of divinity established within the literature written by KH Abdullah Syafi’ie supports the validity of ahli sunnah wal jama’ah Asy’ariyah belief which he had practiced
